I'm In You

As revolting as the name I'm in You is (it was a Peter Frampton album title, after all), the Brooklyn drama rockers' racket almost makes up for it. This is because of the way they often use a steady, almost-disco drum beat to support non sequitur Afro-beat horns and Zappa-like flourishes. When pinned against their speak-sing vocals and war-centric tongue-in-cheek lyrics, you gotta figure these guys own every Talking Heads, Violent Femmes, and later Camper Van Beethoven record ever releasednot that any of that makes up for the Frampton nod. With Sonoi and free BBQ.
